If your tenant has a credit score worth maintaining they will not want an uncollected judgment to be on it.  

I was to start assembling a team together and am looking for any recommendations of contractors that will offer a little bit more hand-holding, as I am still fairly new to this process. 

It has a fairly solid workflow. 

Thanks for the feedback; some quick stats: 9 doors across 4 states, about 50% LTV ratio with a Net Income of about 17% and cash on cash of about 3%.....in fairness those numbers include some overall business expenses not tied directly to one specific property.

Most of these brokerages charge minimum fees to keep your license active while still maintaining your license.

To thrive in real estate investing, you must maintain a firm grip on your finances.

At least ones that will walk the property with you and give you an fair estimate. 

It’s a great reminder to trust your own due diligence and not let others make critical decisions for you, like hiring a property manager.For future investments, building a trusted team and maintaining direct oversight is key, even with remote deals.

Today’s buyers want spaces that flow naturally and maintain functionality.

The loan is with you, not with your tenant, so none of that means anything to them - in fact because you live in one unit and it's under 4, if you were self-managing you don't even have to abide by fair housing laws (at least on the federal level).
